As the world shifts toward electrification and advanced technologies, demand for critical raw materials (CRMs) is soaring. Recognising their importance in sectors like EVs, renewable energy, AI, and defence, GVCI is investing in this growing industry.
We are providing an investment fund and related services targeting the full supply chain of critical raw materials, covering the mining, refining, processing, use and recycling of critical raw materials.
Availability of critical raw materials is vital to the technological and industrial advancement of the 21st century. With a real asset basket of strategic materials stored in Europe, in line with the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), we enable a long-term availability of such materials for European users/manufacturers. The volume of this real asset basket will be in the range of € 35–50 Million.
Private equity investments into companies active in the processing, transformation and recycling of rare earth minerals and other critical raw materials in EU/EFTA countries. The portfolio will consist of longterm established companies as well as start-up companies developing new technologies for the gain of rare earth oxide minerals as well as other critical raw materials. The volume of these equity investments will be in the range of € 15-25 Mio.
Public companies which are active in the field of exploration, mining, processing and use of rare earth minerals and critical raw materials. These companies can have a regional focus within or outside EU/EFTA countries. The volume of these equity investments will be in the range of € 15-25 Mio.
GVCI provides analysis of the supply chain of CRM’s and REE’s to master the complexity and dynamism of this sector. With a strategic approach of stock piling we can support all players in the supply chain to navigate uncertainties in the mine development, offtake, processing, use and recycling of CRM’s and REE’s.
With a investment into a physical stock we will be well-positioned to leverage the opportunities within all application domains using CRM’s and REE’s.
Key criteria for success will be resilience, independence, cost benchmarks as well as respecting ESG and Supply Chain Act standards on carbon footprint.
We specialize in conducting in-depth analysis of industrial sectors and respective companies, focusing on products, processes or technologies relevant for the excavation, refining, application and recycling of CRM’s/REE’s.
Our goal is to help established companies to grow and start-up’s to get new solutions deployed in this emerging sector.
The area of CRM’s/REE materials gaining requires time, money and selection of the right location. A balanced approach of risk and reward will be our approach to participate in the required market growth of these strategic materials.
We provide an overview and developing financial plans to receive various government grants and subsidies. This includes comprehensive assistance with proposals for programs such as the EU Critical Raw Material Act, EIT, Just Transition, Horizon and IRA.
Providing comprehensive assistance in the creation and implementation of these proposals, including leading customers through sometimes difficult procedures to assure the best possibility of success.
To answer any questions or needs that may emerge, we offer application writing, submission, follow-up, and fund body liaison.
We are a team consisting of experienced corporate finance, industry and business development team members. We have realized investment projects in the recycling, energy, telecome infrastructure, renewables energy and processing industry.
With conceptual business consulting as well as hands-on management experience on C-level, we can create great impact in turn-around/restructuring but also start-up/growth situations. We stick with the opportunities and challenges from idea to implementation.
We like greenfield and brownfield situations as we think in new business models and value chains.
CRM’s and REE’s are such a field, where new business models and value chains will emerge to solve the actual constraints for the growth potentials and needs.
With international specialists we will capture these opportunities for investors as well as for the targeted companies.
